We had a similar problem with Kermit.  We were using Kermit within a VT 
emulator.  What we had to do is increase the record size on the transfer.  
In the VT package we were using the max record size was set at 255.  We had 
to set it to the largest size possible because EXP files have large record 
sizes.  This will give you something to try.
